Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyrie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Electoral Administration Bill.

Electoral Administration Bill

A moment ago, the Minister said that the old system of registration was inadequate. Of course that is true. It was inadequate in the sense that people were left on the register after they had left the Army. That was the primary problem—not, as she implied, that service personnel who should have been registered were not registered. As far as I am aware, and I would be grateful if she could confirm this, registration among service personnel under the old scheme was comparable to that among the civilian population. Has she made any estimate of the level of registration that would result from the scheme that she has proposed tonight?
